About GirlsFlightOut

Through the written word and video, GirlsFlightOut aims to give women travellers insights into new and interesting ways to experience our planet. Although always shot in must-see locations, rather that focus mainly on destination, each blog explores a unique style or approach to a holiday and features the town or city or region as the ideal backdrop. For example, we shot “Want to really get to know the locals of a city? Attend a major league game” in Pittsburgh because it is both a great city as well as the ultimate sports town. Still, much of the info we offer can be applied to any sports-minded city such as Chicago or Boston or anywhere around the world where soccer (football!) is played. We figure this sets our blog apart -- we're travel experts yes, but we don't like to tell people where to go.
